Horror Film Prezi & Feedback.

I created a short presentation to show my fellow students how I would like my horror film to be.

My Presentation

I got some feedback for my presentation. People liked the images I used to show how I would want things to be. I was asked who my target audience was and said my target audience would be 15-18 years old. I aimed it at this age group because most people who did my horror survey were in this age group. I was also asked what type of camera shots would I use and replied that I would use a variety of shots but also I want my film to be like a sort of home video type of film because I feel that has more of an effect and would make the film more believable so people would find it more frightening to watch. People liked the idea of making the child be the evil person in this film so I'm definitely sticking with that. Overall I'm pleased with the feedback and hope people will enjoy my film once it's done. 

Opening Of A Horror Film.

In an opening of a horror film, I would expect opening scene to be dark and scary. I would expect to hear creepy type of music playing in the background. Obviously because it's a horror film, I would expect that people will die at some point. When someone dies in a horror film it's normally very gory and not so pleasent to watch (although some people do enjoy it). I would also expect the credits to be in goth type font and in bold.

This is the type of thing I would expect to see in an opening of a horror film.

Green Screen

Today I learn't how to use Green Screen, I found it quite easy to use. However I did have trouble finding a background to fit right in my video but it turned out ok in the end. Here is my video above...enjoy!

Survey Findings.

So about a week a ago I made a film audience survey based on horror. I collected my findings and found out that the majority of people who did my survey were in the age group 12-18. This means that my horror film should be aimed at this age group. Most people are scared of insects so I thought I would use some of them in my film seeing as it got the majority vote. I also found out that Paranormal horror was the type of horror that most people like as well as of types of horror such as; Torture horror, Vampire horror and Slasher horror. This gives me a good idea of what type of horror my film is going to be.
